(I'm using this as an example...please, let's not rehash this topic!!!) When it comes to this gas cap, it was a beautiful thing. It was changed and there's no finite reason from GM why it was changed. People speculate it was because doors get hit when exiting at the fuel pumps and also because of potential spillage ruining the paint. What if there is a bonified reason why the location was changed???

Yes, there's a reason that practically all cars have B pillars and normal gas caps. Lots of reasons that all add up actually. They are engineering requirements, not design decisions. It's very difficult and expensive to get around stuff like that. AudiTT's are like $45,000 for a car that's just a VW Golf with fancy stuff like aluminum gas caps all over it. And even it has fixed rear windows which make its absence of b-pillars pointless.

The whole point I was making, was that no GM employees were giving us reason as to why things changed. You claim to be affiliated w/ this project. Why won't you give us the reasons???
